The FCC approved the new Icom IC-7000 on November 15, and I hear that
they are expected to be available by the end of the month.

And I was told Monday by an HRO manager that the price will be $1,500.

Yeah, but you can't watch TV on a 706. You can on a 7000. :-)

.... for as long as NTSC analog TV remains on the air, which is likely
to be a lot less than the useful lifetime of a 7000.

Now, if they can provide a way to download an ATSC decoder and
MPEG-2 decompressor into the 7000's DSP, they might just have a
gimmick which will survive for a while :-}

Roger,

Here in the USA, the Federal Communications Commission must
grant Type Approval to commercially-made amateur radio gear
before it can be sold.

ONLY when it is capable of receiving above 30 MHz must it be approved
for FCC Part 15. The Commerically made amateur transmitters are not
tested and only need meet the technical requirements of FCC Part 97
just like any home built transceiver.

Bzzzzt, Wrong answer, would you like to try again for what is behind
Door No.2?

Your confusing "Type Approval", "Type Acceptance" and Part 15 Spec's.

There is a very LARGE difference between, each of the above, and if you
don't know the difference, then you shouldn't be commenting on it.....

Me one who knows.....
